Chapter 15: Knowing the Inside Story
“It won’t happen again. Really. If there’s a next time, I’ll just kick him,” Le Yao hurriedly added. In fact, she had wanted to kick him just now. Unfortunately, Qiao Qiao came too quickly and she didn’t have time to react.
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “That’s more like my best friend. She has to be more domineering.”
“Okay.” Le Yao nodded. “Let’s go home.” With that, she pulled up her suitcase with one hand and held Qiao Qiao’s hand with the other as they walked out. Before they reached the exit, a scream suddenly erupted from behind, startling them.
They turned around and saw Yan Zimeng coming out.
The fans at the airport were so excited that they started rushing to the arrivals gate. In the end, the airport had to mobilize a large number of security guards to maintain order.
Le Yao looked back, but there were too many people and she could not see Yan Zimeng. She glanced around and did not see Nangong Jue either. She could not help but sigh. Could it be that after she came here, there was a butterfly effect? If the male lead did not appear, wouldn’t the trending searches be gone as well? What a pity.
“What are you looking at?” Qiao Qiao tugged at Le Yao. “That Yan Zimeng is a scheming b*tch. Besides, what’s so good about a plastic surgery face? If she hadn’t followed that bearded guy back then, do you think she could have survived outside?”
“There’s an inside story? What bearded guy?” Le Yao’s heart was instantly ignited by the gossip. “Also, did she really have plastic surgery?”
Qiao Qiao looked at Le Yao and blinked her big watery eyes before bursting into laughter. “That’s your love rival. Didn’t you do your homework?”
Le Yao pouted. That was Han Binglan’s love rival, not hers. However, she could not say this. She was aggrieved, but she could only endure it.
“Wade Robles is a pretty well-known director in Kinleywood. He’s in his sixties. He doesn’t smoke or drink. His only hobby is beautiful women…” Qiao Qiao shrugged. “When he came to China to do his casting back then, it wasn’t all about Yan Zimeng. But she was willing to go all out. Three years for a Best Supporting Actress Award. Well, I guess it was worth it.”
Le Yao was stunned. So that was how it was. But the book didn’t mention this. It even beautified her as someone who worked very hard.
“Also, she had surgery done on her nose and breasts…”
“Oh, Qiao Qiao, how did you know about these?”
“Have you forgotten what my aunt does for a living? Once, my aunt broke her nose during a shoot and had to go for repair surgery. She happened to run into her when she went for a follow-up…”
Le Yao nodded in understanding. The book had mentioned that Qiao Qiao’s grandmother was Chinese American and was one of the first to break into Nanyang. She then went to the United States and opened a dojo in Chinatown. She was very influential among the Chinese. After falling in love with Old Master Qiao, who was doing business, she returned to China to live. They had a son and a daughter. The son was Qiao Qiao’s father, Qiao Feng, who had inherited the Qiao family’s business empire.
On the other hand, his daughter, Qiao Zi, had inherited her mother’s martial arts talent. At the age of 16, she won the championship of the National Youth Martial Arts Competition. Later on, she had even gone overseas to perform and was favored by the director of Kingleywood. At the age of 18, she was already a famous star in Kingleywood. She had received all kinds of international awards and her status was not something Yan Zimeng could compare to.
So it was only too normal for Qiao Qiao to know some of the secrets of Kinleywood.
